"Look, your highness, the second princess is waking up," Li-Lian's grandmother voiced while stroking her hair.
"Really, that's great," The king said as he was reaching to hold Lian's cold hand.
"Yes, your majesty the second princess is going to be alright but it seems like she will suffer from trauma since she has only now woken up from being unconscious for three days. Thank goodness that the second princess woken up before seven days otherwise the second princess would not be conscious. The poison in her system from the knife that through her side an--" the doctor said before the king cut him off from saying any more.
"Enough, I said enough! No more talking about my daughter dying and the chances of her not waking up! Just make sure that she's well taken care of!! MAKE SURE that she's healthy and something like this will never happen again DO.YOU.HEAR.ME!?" The king said as he was red in the face from anger as he was glaring at the doctor and the guards who were standing outside Li-Lian's door listening to what the king was saying.
All the guards outside the room roared the word YES, YOUR MAJESTY
Two years had passed like water flowing through a river. Mo-Chou was delivering li-lian fresh morning tea to have for when she wakes up.
When Mo-chou turned around to close the double doors to Li-Lian's room, there was screaming piercing the ear drums of anyone who was walking past the courtyard.
Mo-chou dropped the tray that was carrying the tea and ran into li-lians room, when mo-chou got into li-lians room she saw li-lian twisting and turning in her bed with sweat running down her face and tears running down her face as she was screaming and calling for her Grandmaster.
"Young miss, what's wrong? please don't tell me that you're having the same dream again, Please xiao jie please wake up the dream will be over once you wake up," Mo-chou said as she was holding li-lian in her arms a while crying
"Guards call the doctor and tell him that young miss is having nightmares again,"Mo-Chou said as she was shouting at the door while wiping the sweat off Li-Lian's face with a silk rag.
A little while later, the imperial doctor came and gave Li-Lian medicine which made li-lian fall back asleep until noon.
"Mo-chou, what time is it?" Li-lian said as she was getting out of bed and looking at the stop where she was stabbed.
"Young miss, you're finally awake, do you know how worried everyone was, especially the emperor and empress?"Mo-Chou said as she was telling someone to go deliver the news to the king, empress and empress dowager.
"That's why I gotta talk to my imperial father and mother when they get here about my plans."
"What plans young miss, please don't do anything that will risk your life," Mo-chou said as she was looking at li-lian worried and scared.
"I promise I won't. Don't worry Mo-Chou. Li-Lian plotted in her mind something else. I'm sorry mo-chou but this way is the only way to get revenge for Grandmaster, I will get revenge even if it takes my life".
The kings main eunuch announces his majesty and her majesty.
"Little Lian, are you okay? Me and your mom have been so worried about you since you returned that senior brother is dead. He was killed by your fiancé.
"Oh, really that's good! Wait!?!? fiancé?" li-lian said as she was shocked at what her father said
"You and your fiancé yang yang have been engaged since you were in your mother's belly," The king said as he was looking proud
"Father, Is this your wish for me to be betrothed to him?" li-lian said as she was looking at her father and mother
"Yes, my little lian your mom and I wish for you to marry Yang yang," The king said as he was looking proud at his xiao lian and his empress for raising such a good kid
"I will marry him only if you agree to me getting the revenge for Grandmaster" li-lian said as she was looking at the king with no brightness or light in her eyes
"But, your senior brother is already dead what else is there to take revenge on or who I should say," The king said as he was looking at lian confused
"Father, Senior brother wasn't smart enough to be able to pull off what he...did in the...carriage," Li-lian said as she tried to get the last bit of words out her mouth
"OK, I agree if you really think that someone else planned it I will support you but, this is only between me, your mother and mo-chou and don't forget your fiancé yang yang," The king said as he was looking at his daughter proud that she is old enough to make compromises.
"Yes, father I promise to marry Yang yang," li-lian said as she had burning fire in her eyes.
"Oh where are my two youngest siblings?"Li-lian said as she was looking at her mother up and down happily for the first time since Lian came back to the palace when the empress started to shed tears.
"They said that they'll meet you after you get married since they are training in seclusion because they heard what happened to you and wanted to protect you if there was going to be any more ambushes or trouble that people caused you but, they were so excited when they heard the news that you had come back home that they started training faster, more diligently and working hard at leveling up their powers so, they can protect you, "The Empress said as she was wiping away her tears with the handkerchief the king just gave her.
When li-lian was about to answer there was a knock at the door and a eunuch whispered to the king that Yang yang is in the courtyard to meet the princess and to see how she was doing after the attack on her.
"Haha, Really that's wonderful no wonder my father picked him to be little lian's fiancé! The prince has such good manners! Let's go li-lian and meet your future husband shall we?"The king said as he was getting up and signaling mo-chou to dress li-lian up very pretty today.
"Mo-chou bring me the clothes that you think my dad will like also, don't think I didn't see the signal my dad gave you," Li-lian said as she was looking at mo-chou while smiling.
Mo-chou picked out li-lian, a peach colored robe that fades into light pink and lian's lotus tasseled hairpin and pearl hairpin.
"Looks pretty let's go mo-chou. Mo-chou I can't act like myself in front of anyone except people that I know are to be trusted ok"li-lian said as she was getting dressed.
"Mo-chou understands young miss," mo-chou said as she was combing li-lians hair.
"Let's go meet my future husband, the man who saved me and killed my senior brother,"li-lian said as she was starting to get into her character of being cold and isn't the good girl that everyone knows her to be.
"Yes, young miss, let's go,"Mo-chou said as she was helping li-lian stand up because of her stab wound it was still hard for li-lian to move around.
As li-lian and mo-chou was walking to the courtyard li-lian and yang yang made eye contact, Li-lian felt something tingle in her heart but didn't know what it was since she never had it before, Li-lian thought it was because he was there at the accident where her Grandmaster died.
